Updated pictures of Porter's room

It still isn't finished yet, but I thought I'd show some pictures of his room thus far.  I'll include details of what I want/need to add next to each picture.

  This is the view looking into his room.   In the corner, to the right of the crib, we're going to put a glider.   I also need to make those valances for the windows, but I'm not positive of what I want to do with those.. I'd also like to hang a model airplane in the corner between the windows.  I'll probably get one from World Market (it goes with the metal truck thats on the shelf on the wall).  Red Airplane /  Yellow Airplane  (Anyone have a preference??)

This is the wall on the left when you walk into the room.  I think to the left of the shelf I am going to put three vintage license plates in a row (going up and down).  I also painted the picture above his crib last night. 

  Here is the picture I painted last night.  Below "Flying Ace" I'm going to put his name and birthdate.  I can't take any credit at all for the design of it because I totally copied someone else's work (eeek!).  Peekaboo Art  is where I got the design idea.  The website shows the picture with the name and birthdate. 

This is the wall/corner to the right of the door when you walk in  (I took the picture standing in front of the crib).  Under his name on the wall I want to get a 2ft wooden airplane propeller, but I just haven't found one on eBay yet.  The picture kind of shows the little cabinet I found (actually, I had this in the extra bedroom to hold our sheets... now I have to find a place for our sheets) to put his lamp on and inside it is diapers/wipes/lotions etc.  It'll work out good for beside the glider. 

  This picture was taken standing in the doorway.  I wanted to show the little piggy bank he got for Christmas. Isn't it cute?

Nic,

His room looks great. Almost identical to Charlie's. I need to take some updated pics for you.

I found a really cool "Americana" airplane at Hobby Lobby about a year ago, well, maybe not that long ago. It was after he was born in March, anyways...they may still have them. I hung it in the corner of his room by his crib and he loves to look at it. Just make sure that the monofilament you use to hang it is really thick. Mine was not thick enough and over time it stretched and got lower and lower. LOL! So, had to replace that.

Anyways, when I made Charlies headboard out of the license plates, I had a few left over. If you want I can send you 3 to hang like you were talking. Just let me know through SJ.

Getting close now!

Red airplane! His room is just awesome, Nic. I love it all!!! He's going to have the coolest room on the block! :-)

I love the red one! I agree it will pick up on the reds in the room. Porter is going to have an awesome bedroom! I love the colors.

My personal preference is the red airplane. I think it would really pick up the red in the lamp shade and the new picture. Looks great!

What a cute piggy bank! :)
